The Tarpit stout subtracts time from your "Fish in XX min" time. The amount of time reduced depends upon how many stouts have been consumed during the day. See below for details. Tarpit stout can only be used to reduce time between regular fishing intervals (including Skip time). It does not affect boat traveling time or Monthly Tournament fishing.

Stout consumption is reset every day (normally between midnight and 02:00AM Farovian time. Wait until skips appear for the day or it will add on to the previous day drinking, even if it's after 12am).

The Kelpie Juice in Wahwahville and the "baby" areas can be treated as a Tarpit Stout and counts towards the Tarpit Stout use.
